The Sound of a Classic

Gibson Ukulele Styles

Due to the fact that Gibson is such a well known and respected manufacturer,
it is no surprise that their now defunct ukulele production caught a
lot of attention, and that people are still on the lookout for them.

When in production, Gibson made five different styles of ukuleles:

Style UB-1: This style had a six inch rim, but was well known
for its powerful sound. It was considered a fun instrument for the
everyday player.

Style UB-2 (also called Style UB-2 De Luxe): This ukulele had a
powerful and melodic sound. It was finished in a light or dark mahogany
wood. Players often referred to this style as the Baby Gibson.

Style UB-3: A typical ukulele that allowed for a flange resonator.

Style UB-4: This was an upgrade of the previous model.

Style UB-5: Perhaps the showcase of the Gibson collection, this style featured a gold plated finish. It is now worth over $5000.
